Made break 74k; next level 1/1.5/1.5. 53 left out of 131; current overlay approx $7k. We will see how many buy in during break. Avg stack 61.8k at the moment.

OK, a little above average. Keep it going!

Aaand we are

W 39k and blinds 3/6/6 we went all in blind in MP and were called by the guy to my left who had AJ. I turned over 74cc.

and also, what is that, dinner for ants?

Ahh good call. Was wondering what happened there.

Next courses:

Crispy spot prawns


“Two peas in a pod” - peas, ricotta, morels, polenta


Miso cod w ginger and bok choy. I never get this at nobu because I think it’s too sweet the way they do it. Here it was great:

oh i'm dumb, multi course meal makes a lot more sense

This is your best post in the last 30 days.

Well done.

I have a very serious question about the greyhound. I hate gin. I just got in and am at Aria waiting for my game. I paid $17 for a vodka greyhound to establish rungood. Does that count?

Rough day so far. -$200 in 1-2 PLO from 6 am - 9:30. Saw the biggest sun run I’ve seen in ages and a lady wound up w $5k+ after calling off her first buyin on an A high flop w just QQ; turn paired board and River Q have her a full triple up. Just couldn’t connect w right flops; got up to ~1,800 at one point from $900 in, but wound up forgetting rule #1 above and bluffed off a healthy percentage of my stack.

I’ve realized how much my home game moving online has impacted the way I’m playing live now - historically I played off of my tight image as a MAWG with glasses, usually played it up by wearing pink button downs, etc. - but the key was to play tight which would allow me to rob people blind. Example is the tourney last night - I chipped up into the bubble without having to show my cards once.

Anyway my home game moved online in 3/20, and I’ve been playing with a bunch of college buddies multiple times per week since. I am up an uncomfortable amount of money in a friendly game by playing a pretty standard TAG strategy vs a very passive,loose table. As a result I’ve gotten very used to being able to get myself out of jams with big raises that never get called.

My last ~5 live sessions I’ve gotten destroyed by doing the same things. These tables don’t need me to push the action to build big pots (bad habit #1), and definitely won’t believe my big raises when they see me get caught stealing (bad habit #2).

I’m currently in my second bullet in the aria $600 PLO. Bought in one hand before the first break - had the option to wait to sit until after the break but said no I want to play, first hand I potted on the button Vs pfr w KKs; re-raised on flop w NFD, all in on turn unimproved and no spade GG. “You were right sir I guess I should have waited”

Anyway now sitting at 21k (30k buyin) at the second break. Rebuy period ends when the next level starts, when we go 1/1.5/1.5. 213 runners, 104 left, avg stack 61.4. Right now $27k to first and 27 places pay.

It’s my first PLO tournament and it’s fun. Much more different than NL than I expected - waaay more limping pre flop, and I have needed to really pick my spots.

Hopefully one comes up soon - I need it!

Oh and I really only played this tournament because the line was so long to get back on 1-2 after my 80 min massage.

I was feeling fragile and lines are crazy everywhere so I came to resorts world. It’s nice! Won a quick $100 in 2/5 and now in the nightly $160 buyin $3k gtee

Bad night. Bad poker. Fired two bullets at RW; was pretty chill and fun players. Then was only about 9:30 and despite my tiredness I made my way to Aria to drop $1,500 in 1-2 PLO. Didn’t just run poorly; played poorly in the most tilted/stuck/loss-chasing way possible. Walk of shame back to bellagio around 1 am.

Woke up feeling refreshed and ready to win my first bracelet in event 11 though!
